  1. How do I "activate" wifi 6 on my computer.


    I am currently running a windows 10 computer. It's until now that I realize that my Wifi has been running on Wifi 5 instead of Wifi 6. I checked and both routers and Wifi adapter support Wifi 6 connection. I have been looking for a solution for hours but can't find anything.

  2. Recommendation for WiFi usb / card

    If you have a desktop computer I would STRONGLY suggest a PCIe adapter rather than a USB adapter if you go with WiFi 6. The only USB WiFi adapters that I have seen thus far use a Realtek chipset which is reported to have some serious flaws. In my own personal experience, I have tried 2 of these and returned both, getting performance worse than other WiFi 5 adapters and constant disconnects even 10 feet from my WiFi router. If you go with a USB adapter, I would suggest a quality WiFi 5 adapter. One more note: Should you decide to go with a WiFi 6 PCIe adapter, I would suggest a WiFi 6e model. They actually cost no more, and they are one step up just in case you ever go to a WiFi 6e router.

    No WiFi in Win10 Pro (1903) Windows Sandbox

    I (seemingly) successfully updated my Surface Pro 6 to v.1903 today, and after some initial fumbles enabling it, now have Windows Sandbox enabled and it seems to open just fine. However, there is no WiFi access within Sandbox.

    Accessing Settings for Network & Internet, the list on the left is:
    Status
    Ethernet
    Dial-up
    VPN
    Airplane mode
    Date usage
    Proxy
    WiFi appears no place in that window. Network status shows No Internet Access.

    What step am I missing to be able to access the internet from within the Sandbox using my computer's WiFi connection?

  4. How do I "activate" wifi 6 on my computer.

    Have WiFi 6 compatible WiFi card but connects to WiFi 4

    You must divide the WiFi bands on the router by assigning each a different name (SSID), then select the WiFi 6 network from the list of available WiFi networks and check if you can connect to it.
